Police chief sings to local resident on her 100th birthday
SOUTH COATESVILLE—On some occasions, police officers get a bad rap, because they come into contact with people on the worst day of their lives.
In South Coatesville, Police Chief Kevin Pierce believes in the motto ‘to serve and protect,” and is a proponent of community policing.
So, when South Coatesville resident Betty Taylor turned "100" Thursday, Pierce traveled to her home to sing her a tune for her birthday, “How Great Thou Art.” Council Women Sylvia Washington and Renee Carey were also present to celebrate Ms. Taylor’s milestone birthday.
Pierce is involved in many singing engagements and has been acknowledged for having perhaps the finest voice in Chester County.

Greetings Residents:
Tonight, August 2nd, is National Night Out! National Night Out is a national community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships. The South Coatesville Police Department will be taking part in this event by canvassing the neighbors between 5pm and 6pm tonight and serving Rita's Italian Ice (compliments of yours truly) to our resident children. Since we will also be partnering with the Coatesville City Police Department, we may not have time to hit every street in the Borough. Therefore, if you have children, please text us your street name and we will do our best to hit your street. Look for the "Coatesville Police Chilling With The Community Truck" between 5pm and 6pm.
Have a SAFE and Enjoyable Summer!

Greeting Residents:
We have received numerous complaints and inquiries regarding loose dogs. These two dogs (pictured) have been traveling together and have been seen in the areas of West Chester Road, Overhill Road and Montclair Avenues. Apparently, they have been very good at eluding police. Each time we receive a call, we are unable to locate them. We have been attempting to ascertain the owner of these dogs. If you happen to know who may own these dogs, please let us know ASAP. If you happen to see these dogs wandering in your neighbor, please contact our police department at the time they are seen. If you are unable to reach us on station, we are likely out on patrol. If you do not receive an answer on our police station phone, (610)384-3500, please contact the Chester County Police Radio Non-Emergency line at (610)383-7000. They will immediately dispatch the on-duty officer to the area.
Thank you for your assistance!

We had an amazing day with some amazing kids from the Coatesville Area School District yesterday during our 19th annual 'Shop with a Cop' program. Like previous years, we partnered with Hope Beyond Borders and Coatesville Kids to College to plan a memorable and special day for our youth. The staff and volunteers from HBB and CKS are fabulous, not only during 'Shop with a Cop,' but throughout the year by ensuring that our youth have the guidance and support to reach their full potential. Taking a bus load of kids shopping cannot be accomplished without the help of so many people and organizations, so we'd like to extend our sincere appreciation for their time and care for our community's youth and their generous contributions.
We began our day at Olivet United Methodist Church for photos with Santa, breakfast and some festive entertainment. We thank the church for the use of their beautiful space, Chester County Sheriff's Office's Deputy James Audette for playing the saxophone and South Coatesville Police's Chief Kevin Pierce for sharing his wonderful voice as he sang festive songs.
After announcements, the kids were loaded onto a bus provided by Krapf School Bus where a joyful driver greeted the kids and safely navigated their parade-style journey to Parkesburg Wal-Mart, surrounded by dozens of first responder vehicles. We thank Constable Tyrone Harley and The City of Coatesville Parks & Recreation Chairperson, Ajene Livingston, for serving as chaperones. Upon arrival, the kids were teamed up with an officer that served as their es**rt and shopping consultant. It was a great opportunity to spend one-on-one time with the youth, share some laughs and have important conversation. It was nice to see so many kids thinking of others as they made gift selections. We thank Walmart for all of their support, including a significant discount, wrapping supplies and use of their breakroom. The staff was amazing and helped make the program enjoyable for the participants, officers and volunteers.
Once again this year, Witmer Public Safety Group was our presenting sponsor and we sincerely thank the employees of WPSG and the Witmer Family for their tremendous support. Their desire to help make kids smile and assist us in building constructive relationships between community and police is incredible. We also thank the Coatesville Police Officers Union and the several anonymous community members that helped support the program by anonymously providing financial contributions.
Having help from our 'friends in blue' is always appreciated. We thank Caln Township Police Department, South Coatesville Police, West Brandywine Police Department, West Sadsbury Township Police, Pennsylvania State Police, Sadsbury Township Police Department, Valley Township Police Department, Chester County Sheriff's Office and West Caln Township Police Department for joining us.
We thank Helen from Coatesville Youth Initiative for serving as our photographer and capturing a variety of moments that we're able to share. We also thank Chris Hutelmyer from Arts and Athletics Club for volunteering to chronicle the program on video.
Most importantly, we thank the youth (and their families) that we had an opportunity to connect with yesterday. It may have only been a four-hour event but we hope that it leads to a lifetime of mutual respect and ongoing constructive relationships with the youth and families we serve.

Road Updates:
Modena Rd remains a single lane near Union St. Repair work is on hold until PennDot receives clearance from the DEP.
Baker St. - we are awaiting info from a contractor and are hoping to be working there next week.
Woodland Ave remains closed to through traffic. Due to the extent of repairs needed, it is likely to remain closed thru the winter. The road is not safe to travel on in the barricaded area. The road continues to deteriorate and a sinkhole could open at anytime. DO NOT MOVE THE BARRICADES. We are asking South Coatesville Police to patrol more frequently and cite anyone caught traveling through the closed off section of road.
